The Michigan Legislature have ex-
PEELED Dakin, one of their number,
and representing Saginaw. Dakin's
crime appears to be terrible one.
Saginaw people were trying to get a
new charter; we're afraid the bill
would not pass agents were sent to
Lansing to lobby the matter; these
agents talked with Representative
Dakin he said money would be need
ed to get the bill through the agent
asked how much list of members
was drawn up; Dakin marked S25
in front one name; $40 in front of
other names, and s5 in front Of 9TH
er names agent got the belief that
the legislatures influence could be
obtained by buying few members
for So, $40 and s25 head secret
got out the Legislature grew fear
fully angry; Dakin was impeached,
tried, found guilty and expelled. We
do not blame the lower house of Rep.
resentatives for getting indignant.
The idea that a member of the Legis-
lature Of this great State can be
bought for So is an insult to the whole
people. They would be justified in
getting bowling mad. Dakin's de-
tense was that he wanted the money
10 treat the influential members, be.
lieving he could win their influence
through their stomachs. There was
no evidence that Dakin had been paid
the money he asked for, or that any
legislator had received cent of the
bride money. Dakin was one of the
labor members.

GESTLEMES.-Your petitioners respect
fully represent that they are engaged in act
i've business in the city of Alpena. That
their business requires them to constantly
cross and recross Thunder Bay river. That
the only means of crossing said river with
teams and vehicles is at the bridges on
Second and Chisholm streets, which by rea-
son Of their situation are inconvenient and
inadequate to meet the just demands of the
business men and laboring classes of said
city. Your petitioners further respectfully
represent, that the fire protection to the in
habitants on both sides Of said river would
be greatly increased and made more COM
plete, and the business interests and con-
veniences Of large number Of the inhabi-
tants and tax payers Of said city, materially
benefited by the construction OF sbstan-
tial and permanent bridge across said river
at or near the foot Of Eighth (s) street.

A Fashion Article.

Fashion is the result of accident
and greed. The New York fashion
in dress comes from London. In
London it eminates from the Prince
of Wales. A few years ago III. X.
H. had delicate throat. His doctor
told him to wear collar that would
protect the thorax. Hence the high
chokers that have made the dudes
life so miserable. But the haberdash-
ers found that straight collar would
last forever, and as soon as Wales
throat got stronger they invested the
collar with broken corners. This soon
wears out, and is very profitable.
There is no other reason why this
style should be adopted.
Again, when the prince and his
suite went to India they were all pro-
vided with colored travelling shirts,
with collars and cuffs attached.
When they got to the interior, where
water was scarce and no washing
could be done, they were asked to
luncheon by Ramset Jee Ihee Thee
Bhoy. There wasn't clean shirt in
the party, but an American drummer,
who happened to be in the neighbor-
hood, had line Of false collars and
cuffs which he was selling to the ma
tives. A supply was bought and at
tached to the colored shirts. Hence
those red, pink and blue shirts with
white collars and cuffs which we see
in all the Broadway windows.
Our tailors tell us that Prince AL
bert coats, commonly called frock
coats, are no longer fashionable. This
is simply because "Bertie" has grown
too stout to look we'll in his namesake.
For the American slim there is no
more becoming and economical gar
ment. 1t may be worn without n
waistcoat, ard with the addition of
dickey and a pair of cuffs it always
presents full dress appearance.
Then as to trousers. We are told
that they must be worn about eighteen
inches wide at the knee. Yes, very
properly by H. r. H., who has fif-
teen inch calf but when a dude with
a ten inch thigh thrusts his legs into
an eighteen-inch pair of bags, they
look like straws stuck in mint julep.
And they say that the spare stuff in
trousers should be creased down the
front and back as though ironed to fit
a board. But the leg is round, not
fiat. and the crease suggests the pres
sure Of reach-me-down stock of
ready made clothes. Moreover, the
crease was invented by man who
had creasing machine to sell.-New
York Star.

Judge Fuller, of the 9th circuit,
has brought suit against the Big Rap
ids Herald, owned by VIM. p. MIS-
bett, for $4,000 damages, because the
Herald said the Judge circulated bo-
gus tickets at the late election. Be
ing personally acquainted with Mr..
Nisbett, and judging from the show
ing in the last issue of the Herald,
we opine that the Judge, by the time
the suit is ended, will wish he had
been struck by Kansas cyclone.

The first week of the base ball sea-
son has resulted very satisfactory to
base ball enthusiasts in this State.
The Detroit club won three straight
games from indianapolis. New York
won 2 from Philadelphia. The Pitts
burgh's laid out the Chicago's once,
and Boston was too much for WASH
ington. The result for the first week
will be found in another place. In
this city, everyone, Of course, is ex-
tremely Detroit; when tho Detroits
win, the base ballists here smile, when
the Detroits lose, our people don't
smile, and when the Detroits play
poor ball, they get fits. The idea
seems to be rooted in the minds Of
the citizens that Detroit has through
ticket for first place, and there will
be much disappointment if they fail.

The Cheboygan Tribune says :
about two weeks ago young couple
arrived here, from Alpena, that had
been married in that burg a few days
previous. Everything moved along
serenely until yesterday, when a cloud
made its appearance in the shape of a
man who claimed to be husband No.
I. The bride denies the allega-
ton, but he insists that they were
married by justice Fife in this place
some years ago. No. 2 called in his
uncle for consultation and the latter
concluded that he would hunt up the
records. The uncle admitted that if
the marriage took place, No. had
the best claim and would have the
woman. The last we heard of the
old gent, he was making inquiries for
Fife. That individual skipped out
some years ago, and as he did not
take the trouble to make record of
such trifling affairs as marriages, some
trouble may be experienced in set
Ting the question of which is the
proper man."

CLOTHING.
ARTISTIC CLOTHING.

When we look back a dozen or so years and
remember the crude efforts Of that time In
the manufacture Of so.called "Gnc" ready.
made clothing and compare the results with
those to bo found on our counters to-day, we
cannot help coming to the conclusion that in
no branch of industry has more rapid or
greater strides been made than in the manu-
facturc Of fine ready made clothing for men
and boys. There are not many houses In
America however, that can or care to boast
Of this rapid development, because II pays the
great majority of manufacturers to continue
on in the old rut, making up only such slip
shod stock as their patrons-the retailers
call for.
There arc few, howcver-chcf among
whom are Messrs Hamburger Bros. ,S Co. of
Baltimore and New York, of which firm our
Mr.. a. saks is the life and soul in the matter
of progress-w who have bent their best oner-
pies toward producing a class of ready y.made
clothing that will not only hold It's own, but
carry of the palm when placed alongside of
ard compared with the finest products of the
best custom tallors' skill aud this is the class
Of goods " ith which our house is stocked to-
day. The fabrics and patterns are such as
good taste dictates. The shape and fit we
submit without argument" The workman
| shipis is Of the highest order. The prices we
| name for the qualitic, we handle knock com
| petition sky high. In fac. and IA truth, our
readymade clothing has reached the highest
| pinnacle of perfection, and we handle aud
| sell such enormous quantities. that, no matter
| what a atron's taste may be he is sure to
find among our stock something to strike his
fancy.
